About Single Spey Flyfishing

Followed my passions over the years for better or worst... Have had the Steelhead bug now for 28yrs. I have played drums professionally for several years, grew up on rock & roll. Being a Flyfishing Guide for 15 yrs on the coast of BC has given me a lot of experience and a broad knowledge for approaching Salmon & Steelhead fishing with a fly! I have owned a couple of lodges in BC, one called Spey Lodge with the more recent addition being Boundary Lodge. In the past 4 years I have been back on Vancouver Island starting up a flyfishing Guide service based on the banks of the Campbell river, just a few properties upstream from the famous Roderick Haig Brown heritage property. This is where my family and I are currently enjoying our lives on the coast of BC.

Thanks for viewing my first blog. For more info about my guide service view www.bcflyguide.com or if you have questions about flyfishing Vancouver Island in general please feel free to ask. This site's all about Flyfishing Vancouver Island with some great pictures from guided & personal fishing trips, new flies I'm tying, whats new & all that other good stuff related to casting a fly on island waters! Flyfishing, guiding and my passion for this sport is always growing. I hope this blog will assist those of you in keeping up on what I'm up to here, and why I think Vancouver Island BC is so under rated for it's Flyfishing opportunities. Thanks for visiting and come again, regards.

Historic Vancouver Island Addition #4

Summer Steelhead are on their way! I'm certain that some of them have already poked their heads into fresh water on the island... Our Summer Steelhead arrive throughout the summer months starting early in June. When everything's just right this is the ultimate in westcoast fishing. In this picture, I took a client fishing after a rainy August week making our waters large & slighty colored. This particular day we hooked several fish, landed 4. I remember this day vividly as we were able to skate fish up in tailouts with large muddler minnows & Steelhead Bees, days I often dream about! This day you could see the fish following our skating flies, then turning off them, after a few casts they'd hammer the flies leaping outrageousely out of the water cartwheeling endlessly! Well on that note, must go look for a chromer:)
